HESI A2

If you are applying for the UTA Nursing program, you must have applied for admission to UT Arlington prior to Fall 2017 to be able to use the HESI A2 test. We continue to offer this test for students who may be applying to other institutions' programs that still use the HESI A2.

Is there a way I can prepare for the test?

There is an optional study manual available at the UTA Book Store, or you may review the HESI Preparation tools at: Elsevier Evolve.

Registration for UTA students not in the DFW area: If you are unable to register for a date at UTA or are not located in the DFW area, you may take the exam at another school or at a Prometric testing site. Registration for Prometric sites is online and separate from UTA. Registration for UTA students outside the DFW area - Distance Testing with Prometric Test Centers: Prometric.pdf
